Description Roman Polach 2006-05-19 14:26:03 UTC
when I set:
  in /etc/rc.conf
    UNICODE="yes"
  in /etc/env.d/02locale
    LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ.utf8
    LC_COLLATE=cs_CZ.utf8
  in /etc/conf.d/consolefont
    CONSOLEFONT="lat2-16"
    CONSOLETRANSLATION="8859-2_to_uni"

then ncureses applications like "mc" or kernel "make menuconfig"
have visualy scattered user interface

when I set:
  in /etc/rc.conf
    UNICODE="no"
  in /etc/env.d/02locale
    LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ
    LC_COLLATE=cs_CZ
  in /etc/conf.d/consolefont only
    CONSOLEFONT="lat2-16"

then they works OK for me.

It's seems to be a issue of ncurses...
or have I set unicode settings wrong way?
